The pictures on the right are a little messed up right now. While Daddy figures out the issue he added a link called "Newest Pictures" where you can see all the latest pictures of me, including the ones from my first hair cut today.

Guess what? Today is my birthday! That's right, I am one year old today. What a year it has been. I wonder what the next 12 months will be like?

Today I got my first haircut. Daddy and Mommy recorded it and took lots of pictures. The videos are on youtube and the pictures are in the usual spot. Check them out.

Since my last post I have been a sick little girl. I had RSV. I had to have breathing treatments every 3 hours and I've been coughing and stuffed up. I hate those breathing treatments. When I was feeling the worst I was pretty upset and wanted Mommy and Daddy to hold me all the time. But last Wednesday was the worst day and I am getting better everyday and am almost 100% back to my normal happy-all-the-time self.

I am walking more and more every day. I am also climbing on everything that is climbable, and some things that are not. I have stopped drinking formula and switched to milk. I am also doing a lot better with my sippy cup and hold it and drink from it all by myself almost all the time. I've started swimming lessons again, this time in the evening so Daddy gets to come with me. I am also going to the library reading classes with Mommy each week.

Mommy, Daddy, and me have been having fun watching the NFL playoffs and Illini basketball. We were really bummed when the Packers lost, but the Colts are still in it and are going to go all the way!

Well that's about it for now. I am really looking forward to my birthday party next week and I'll post another entry after to let you all know how great it is. Oh, and if you are reading this and still looking for gift ideas for me, here you go:

Happy New Year! I know I am a few days late, but its still January so I can still say that, right? Speaking of January, my BIRTHDAY is coming up!! I am going to be one year old in eight days. Wow, that year went fast!

This year is starting off great. I am walking a little more each day. And I love climbing... on everything. I climb up on the gates Daddy put up in front of all the stairs, I climb on the gate Mommy puts up to keep me out of the kitchen, and I climb up on the dining room chairs. I even figured out that I can lay stuff in front of the couch and then use that to climb up on the couch. Daddy freaks out a little bit when I climb, but I really like it and am going to keep on climbing.

After Christmas I got to stay with Grammie for a few days while Mommy and Daddy went to a Green Bay Packers game with Poppa Cooper, Aunt Allison, and Uncle Peter. I had a lot of fun and Grandpa Brad fed me Pirate's Booty popcorn. That stuff is really good.

This week Mommy started watching our neighbor Jon Jr a couple of days a week. He's pretty cool and we like hanging out together. I think he will be more fun when he gets a little older, but we still have a pretty good time. I also have another new friend named Hannah, but she was just born so I can only look at her right now. When Daddy held me next to her I couldn't believe I was ever that small and that I've grown so much in just a year.

So, obviously, the most important thing this month is my birthday. But Popi's birthday is this month too. And I am really looking forward to the NFL playoffs. Last year I didn't really know what was going on, but this year its all about the Packers and Colts. I've even learned how to signal a "touchdown" in time for the games this weekend. You can see a video of me doing it on my youtube channel. The link is over on the right.

Well that is about it for now. Talk to you soon. Skype me if you want to video chat!
